2、Although the medicine tastes__,it seems to help my condition.

3、Passage Two
The thought of not sleeping for twenty-four hours or more is not a pleasant one for most people．The amount of sleep that each person needs varies．In general,each of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy．Some people,however,can get by just a few hours of sleep at night．
It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps．But everyone needs some rest to stay alive．Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on this．Sleep is,after all,a very basic need．But a man named AI Herpin turned out to be a real exception,for supposedly,he never slept!
A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey．They hoped to negate the claims that he never slept．But they were surprised．Though they watched him every hour of the day,they never saw Herpin sleeping．He did not even own a bed．He never needed one．
The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a half dozen news-papers．His doctors were baffled by this strange case of permanent insomnia．Herpin offered the only clue to his condition．He remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days be-fore he had been born．Herpin died at the age of 94,never having slept a wink．
The most likely reason on Herpion's insomnia was______

7、You have been badly injured in a car accident．It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident．However,special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you．If the blood is too different from your own,the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood;A,B,AB and O．A simple test can indicate a person's blood type．Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood．Blood type,like hair color and height,is inherited from parents.
Because of substances contained in each type,the four groups must be trans fused carefully．Basically,A and B cannot be mixed．A and B cannot receive AB,but AB may receive A or
B．O can give to any other group,hence it is often called the universal donor．For the opposite reason,AB sometimes called the universal recipient．However,because so many reactions can occur in transfusions,patients usually receive only salt or plasma until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital．In this way,it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality．Among Europeans and people of European ancestry,about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O．The rarest is type A
B．Other races have different percentages．For example,some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.
People with type A blood can receive__.

8、Scotland provides superb opportunities to enjoy wild and grand scenery which is even more impressive than the postcards suggest．It also offers towns and cities with a rich cultural life,a good mix of accommodation and places to eat and drink．Friendly and welcoming,it is an interesting and colorful all-season destination,where landscapes and the environment,sport and leisure pursuits,heritage and history,culture and cuisine are all part of a rewarding experience.
The best reason for choosing to go on holiday to Scotland is:one of the last places inside the crowded and frenetic European Union where it is possible to be alone isolated countryside．This is not to say that Scotland,like everywhere else,does not have its tourist traps,its crowded roads or its popular beauty spots．But it is relatively easy to escape from them.
It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England.
Indeed,no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots．They successfully resisted English attempts at domination for seven hundred years,and many differences between the two countries persist.
Scotland's history,embodied in its castles,battlefields,and ancient links with France,Flanders and Scandinavia,is special.
When you say that Scotland is like England,the Scottish__.

9、“If there is one thing I’m sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers．It is not that newspapers are a necessity．Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio．Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday．But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation．
The nature of what is news may change．What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters,will continue much the same．I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though．It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives,like genetic(基因)engineering．In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are．
It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home．In fact,I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future．You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news,et
C．
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed off each other．Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn’t happene
D．What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air．And as for the Internet,it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen．
How many ways does the phrase“to face the music”comes from?
